Pirate Studios' ground-breaking Prodigy Programme - backed by Kate Nash, Jon McClure and the teams behind Liam Gallagher, Charli XCX, The Libertines - have revealed their shortlist of 30.
As announced in February, the Programme aims to discover the UK’s top emerging artists, with the help of a panel of expert industry judges, mentors and partners which include Libertines, Tom Grennan, Liam Gallagher's PR, Gordon Smart Radio X, This Feeling and many more.
With over 2000 acts having applied across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, they have now whittled these down to 30.
A public vote is now underway which will reduce the 30 down to 6, and then another round of voting will see 3 winners announced.
You can vote here for your favourite 3 from the final 30 list below.
